#WeChooseWelcome
Like most church congregations, we worship, study, pray and care for one another. Our passion is working together to try to make the world a better place. By doing tangible, concrete things that improve people’s lives, we honor God and live out what Jesus means when he says, “Love God and love your neighbor.” If that resonates with you, we hope you’ll come visit.

Autumn Glover from OSU will explain the issues associated with affordable housing in the Near Eastside.
On January 19, the session will be moderated by Jeff Biehl, with Prevent Family Homelessness Collaborative. We will view the video “Segregated by Design,” which addresses how systemic governmental racial policies have contributed to a lack of home ownership, wealth-building, and affordable housing in poor communities. An open discussion will follow the video presentation.
On January 26, representatives from our Neighborhood Ministries who are actively addressing affordable housing issues will describe what is being done and what more could be done to assist our neighbors who are struggling to find and keep affordable housing in this area.
The Power of Silence
Sermon Series
The Power of Silence will shape preaching in January and February. We will explore the healing, restorative power of silence and the ways in which God speaks through silence. There is the silence we choose and the silence that is imposed on us. What does it feel like to be silenced? How do we create a church and a world where everyone’s voice is heard?.
